Gary Sterling gazes into the mirror, eyebrow slightly raised

Eyebrow

It can be that perfect curve
maintained by care
arching the upper face
to give expression
to the hidden meaning
challenged behind the words
it can imply or invite
lower in the frown
of disapproval
or raise in question
establish doubt
the meaning behind meaning
the possibilities
of another truth
it can mesmerize
above the eyes
me watching for
the hint of implication
invitation
a signal for response

I realize
I have real eyes
with brows
that can communicate
I have a mirror
to see what you see
reminding myself
my image left
appears to you as right
